Received 2 dividends today and both have been reinvested. Pretty happy that O is cooling off on account of the $62.5 covered calls I sold. Theta is on my side netting me nearly an entire months worth of dividends in premium

Started tracking my dividends in a 2 year planner

Blessed thread

Watching your threads with interest. You're doing good work here anon.

Shill me some dividend companies

>>57314818
TCPC

>V
They built the worlds largest payment infrastructure and they charge a small toll for everyone to use it. They generate massive amounts of cash and grow their earnings year after year. Dividend is tiny starting out but they grow it by double digit % every year. Their payout ratio is under 30% so the dividend raises will continue long into the future. They also buyback stock at decent pace.
>MSFT
Pretty much the same as above
>COST
Same as above, although I stopped buying at these levels
>JNJ
Extremely safe dividend, moderate dividend growth
>PEP
Same as JNJ
>NEE
Reliable dividend raised, decent starting yield, extremely stable company
>AMT
Vitally important infrastructure, long history of dividend raises
>O
Monthly dividend payer, recession proof occupants like dollar stores and convience stores
>SCHD
Great ETF focused on dividend growth. Total return has beaten the S&P since inception

Here’s my bimonthly recurring buys for my Roth IRA. Only change is I scaled Costco back because it’s rather expensive at the moment and funneled that money towards V and PEP

Probably a stupid question but fuck it:
It looks like most companies offering dividends are giving rates of 5% or less. Why would I invest in those over a REIT which is giving over 10%?

There's a reason it's priced low enough to give you 10%

>>57314946
I mean how could you not go with schd?

>>57315141
Which is what exactly?

>>57315112
REITs aren’t qualified dividends

>>57315163
Nvm. You should put money in the companies with the highest yield percentage :)

So you don't know? Man, I thought biz was supposed to be smart.

>>57315186
Thank you for giving a real answer unlike the other anon.

>>57315218
Not a clue

Look up dividend yield trap. Just because it is a higher percentage doesn't always mean its good as it could mean the share price has been declining (so if you buy it, you risk it declining further and losing your capital).

Based thread

I really like the idea of div investing but whenever I do the math it always comes up short against an all-in VOOfolio

What's your secret anons?
